I am currently a Humber College post-grad public relations student and had the opportunity to sit on the ‘expert’ panel with Rob Clark yesterday. I enjoyed the experience greatly. Rob brought up a valuable point that I had not considered. You reiterated that point here and I’m glad that you did.

One of the strengths you hear about social media is its cost – usually free. What isn’t voiced often enough as it turns out is that while most social media services are free, there is the cost of operating them. The sites require constant maintenance and monitoring which not all organizations have time or budget for. While not as much of a problem for large companies, it was an issue Rob put on the table right away when planning for a not-for profit.

Thanks for making me reconsider the cost of social media.

Leona and Rob – thank you so much for taking time out of your very busy days to spend on such a worthwhile cause. I’m really glad the SMG team could support Sarah and her efforts to leverage “social media for social good”. I’d also like to see another event like this soon – and hope that our social media colleagues will turn out in full force to support it!
